I had heard that this area of Brussels wasn't meant to be nice or safe but as our hotel was located in this area we had no choice but to be in this location every day. In all I never found this to be dangerous, while I never stayed out to late here I did walk all around it in...

I am a strong guy in his early thirties and went for a run in Anderlecht. The area is dirty and dangerous. Stay away. I was about to go into the metro station alone and I had a gang of agressive black guys intimidating me. The place is a mix between Africa and Northern Africa, but without any kind of...

Unless your destination is a museum or Midi station, there is no reason for a tourist to go there. This neighborhood...
